I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at OpenBet (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
First there was an informal phone call with some general information of how the recruitment process works.
Then an online hackerrank test, this was very easy, even though you only need 50% to pass.
Was then invited to a assessment day, lasted from 9am to around 4pm. This consisted of a team building exercise, written assessment, coding assessment, a technical interview, and finally an informal chat with current graduates.
The next day, they called to give me very good and detailed feedback.
Overall a great experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OpenBet (Chiswick, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and set up a phonecall to discuss the role, process, my interest and to get to know me a bit better. This lead to a coding test, 5 questions, it is more so to see your way of thinking than ability. I got two correct, two incorrect and one un-attempted but the logic was correct for the incorrect questions and this progressed me to an assessment centre. This was a full day, and personally I peaked at midday. The first part of the day plays of soft skills and personality, the second half then became very technical. This was frustrating as I knew the answers in truth but with the pressures of the day and fatigue and lack of sleep through nerves, I bombed out. A tip would be to look heavily into JavaScript, most the people on the assessment centre had worked with JavaScript but nobody enough to be tested on it. Knowing a little on SQL and web development would help in other areas. OpenBet staff, location and general feel was excellent and I would have been excited to get a job offer.
